[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Charter schools don’t proliferate in areas where students & their families are happy with the schools.[/quote] This. Personally I think the problem is that most liberals tend to think of people as a monolithic block. They’re not. Some low income people want low academic and behavioral standards in school because they’re lazy and don’t want to parent their children and don’t want to talk to teachers, but other low income people want more for their kids. They want higher academic and behavioral standards. They want strict rules and police officers. These things can’t all exist together in the same school. And if you make the good parents unhappy then they’re just going to find another place for their kids. If they can’t afford privates, that means charter schools. The neighborhood schools are catering to the wrong parents. [/quote]
